According to Al-Masdar News intel, several elements of the Syrian Arab Army’s 11th Division and 18th Division have been redeployed to the outskirts of Qaryatayn city after their successful liberation of the famed Palmyra city yesterday evening.
Additionally, Syrian volunteers from the National Defence Forces (NDF) of Sadad and Mahin have also joined forces with government troops on the perimeter of Qaryatayn.
This comes as dozens of airstrikes are currently striking the city while artillery units are simultaneously bombarding ISIS fighters stationed there.
With hundreds of soldiers arriving at Qaryatayn, this military build-up hints at a major government offensive to happen imminently on ISIS defenders inside the city.
